Step By Step information on how to submit a PR

Suppose you want to add/update your information in _data/students.yml file. You can do it directly from Github website.

Step 1

Head over to students.yml file in _data directory: https://github.com/rllabmcgill/new_website/blob/master/_data/students.yml

Step 2

Click the pencil Edit icon on the top right to begin editing

• You should see a notification like this. Github has automatically created a fork of the repository for you:

Step 3

Make your edits. Here, I'm changing the supervised_by item in Joey's record to reflect Prakash as the supervisor. This field should have the exact name to list Joey in Prakash's landing page (also can have multiple supervisors separated by a comma):

Step 4

Once you are done, save the changes (Proposing a new change). Add any commit message such as the following and click on "Propose changes"

Step 5

Once you click "Propose Changes", you should see a Pull Request page like this:

• Add a note in the field (could be same as before) and click on "Create pull request" to submit your change for review

Step 6

After this step, we will receive the Pull Request in this page: https://github.com/rllabmcgill/new_website/pulls . As soon as someone in the moderation team accepts the PR, it will be reflected in the website.

By this way, you can submit any number of changes!
